HOW TO GET THERE? (Taken from their site.)
When travelling by private car:
It would take you between 45 minutes to 1 hour to drive the 24 km. cemented
road from the Caliclic ferry boat wharf to Kaputian proper and the
12 km. all-weather dirt road to the resort, passing thru
Barangays San Isidro and Libertad. After the gas station in Kaputian there
are signs guiding you to the resort.
For the first - timers to the resort, we can arrange somebody to guide
your way from Kaputian proper upon request. Just locate the only
gas station (Holy Infant Gas Station) at Kaputian, a few meters from the
bus terminal area, as the rendezvous point.
